makita or dewalt

The new Milwaukee 18v with the brushless motor, had a play the other day and was impressed. Milwaukee offering 3 warranty on drills and 2 years on batteries.

I was a Makita man before someone liberated it, now i have converted to Panasonic IP drills. Ten times better!

Makita or Bosch for drills. Both good but Bosch have a 3 year guarantee. I do own a couple of DeWalt drill bit sets, they have nice yellow boxes that fit in my Makita SDS and Combi cases, but I would only buy their power tools if I didn't plan on using them much.

i own full makita lxt 18v kit, combi drill, impact driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw and torch, im well impressed with them, the drills have had some stick over the last 12 months and have no signs of slowing up, had a dewalt combi a couple of years ago and the chuck kept slipping and holesaws etc kept falling out during use, makita by far the better kit in my opinion.

i prefer dewalt for the 14v and makita for hammer drill

I have an old Dawalt I brought in Oz ten years ago, still does what it says on the box. However, love the Makita SDSi purchased at Elex
